This book looks at how the law allows donors to establish perpetual charitable trusts, bearing the donor's name, and how it rewards and encourages the pursuit of post-mortem identity. It considers the policy questions raised by post-mortem identity. The law in this area is often complex and uncertain, and that legal unpredictably might deter donors from giving. Attention to post-mortem identity suggests that the law should be made as reliable and predictable as possible. This book theorises the motivation for post-mortem identity and works through its legal implications. It considers the even deeper questions in play and the particular problems which surround post-mortem identity. For example, a donor motivated by the prospect of legal immortality might be led towards bad charity. The donor might try to create a vain or prejudiced organisation. The book looks at the context of these issues, the policy challenges faced by the law, and the way in which the rules need to control and limit the donor's wishes.

Beyond the Final Frontier

Retirement

From the creator of the hit newsletter Young Money, a guide for for Gen Z professionals fed up with the traditional career path and ready to rethink your relationship with money, work, and what it means to live well. Jack Raines did everything right: got the grades, got the job, climbed the ladder. But somewhere between the meetings and the monthly salary, a question crept in - is this it? What once looked like success started to feel like a trap. So he did the unthinkable: he walked away and decided to do it all differently. Young Money exposes the trap so many twenty-somethings fall into - chasing status, salary and stability without stopping to ask: is this what I actually want? Is this how I want to spend my time? Young Money lays out a bold new manifesto for life and money: * Time is your most valuable currency. * Every penny you earn reflects the hours you traded to earn it. * Real wealth means buying freedom, not flexing status. With humour and honesty, Young Money is the essential playbook for anyone starting to think about their career - and anyone ready to do it differently.

Trusts and Estates Law Handbook

Have you ever dreamed about quitting your job, but assumed it wasn't realistic?
That doesn't mean you hate work. You're not lazy. You're simply aware that there might be another way.

I Want Out is not a book about quitting your job overnight, chasing unrealistic dreams, or gambling your security on a risky idea. It is a practical, honest roadmap for people who want to gradually build independence without burning bridges or relying on a fluke result.

Craig Priestley spent years building income streams alongside a full-time career before walking away from traditional employment in 2023. In this book, he shares the mindset shifts, experiments, lessons, and decisions that made that transition possible.

This is the framework behind that journey.

Inside, you'll learn:How to reframe your relationship with work
The mindset shift that unlocks new income opportunities
How to identify realistic side hustles without needing a perfect idea
How to test and validate income streams safely while employed
Why most people quit too early - and how to avoid it
How to build momentum without burnout
How to recognise the financial and emotional signals you're ready to leave
What life looks like on the other side, including structure, financial awareness, and navigating uncertainty



Most importantly, this book shows that escaping dependency on a single employer is not reserved for extraordinary people, huge risk-takers, or those with existing wealth.

It can be built slowly. Imperfectly. Realistically.

Whether you are feeling stuck, curious, or already taking small steps toward something different, this book will help you understand what the path can look like, and how to walk it in your own way.

You don't need to have everything figured out. You just need enough curiosity to begin.
